Hi!

It's been a few years since I posted. I can tell you I'm still "in remission". I'm a nurse now and I deal with both poop daily and vomit frequently and it doesn't bother me at all beside the...

Hello!!!

I came to check in =) and to tell you things concerning my emetophobia are great!

In the past three weeks I have thrown up twice - and you know what? It was not a big deal at all. In...

Hello! So pleased to see that you are finding something in my posts here! It makes me really happy that I can help because goddamn do I know what hell emetophobia is.

CBT has helped me more than...

Hey guys!

I had another CBT appointment today. As usual I made myself quite anxious worrying about not having done enough to please my therapist... and as usual he seemed really pleased with my...

Hey Leigh. I understand your fears - my husbands has had a few sv's over the years and it takes everything I have not to run away and leave him alone. I am frozen for days and it's just awful. But...

Wow that was MEAN!



Thanks though, OP, that really helped. Just read an article on a news site about how the noro virus is kicking up to full speed around here and I was just starting to...

It's been a while since I updated. I've been doing A LOT of soul searching and some really hard CBT work. Thinking about it is making me a bit teary eyed because this journey is so amazing. I'm...

You know what I think it is? People feel like they are dying because of the anxiety they feel when they feel very sick and have stomach pains - and emetophobes that's like our normal state of mind so...

I had to cancel my session last Thursday - I was way too depressed and messed up by my husband leaving. I couldn't even make myself anything to eat, let alone face my greatest fear! My therapist...

A little update:

My next session in on Thursday. On Tuesday my husband leaves to go to America for few months to get surgery for his arthritic ankles. I'm feeling a lot of general anxiety along...

Haha no pressure at all sage. Ahem. Gives me reason to work even harder at this though. I'm not sure if I'm happy about that or not hahah.

Thanks Jada =)

Alright. My third session was postponed til this morning because he had a cold. I almost didn't go because I felt so hopeless about the whole thing. It's been a really rough week for me. I've been so...

CBT tomorrow. Getting nervous to tell him how I've completely failed these past 4-5 days. I hope he can spin it to something positive.

Wow, I know your boyfriend is sick but... not flushing after being sick?! That sounds very immature.

For you not to get sick it's a team effort. He needs to wash his hands properly and close the...

David is spot on. Most people here want to get better. Some people are just here to vent, yet take no steps to become better. But I suppose all of us will strive to get better when we feel we are...

It's actually really calming! I've not been nearly as afraid of noro since reading it. I really recommend it!

Such an incredible rush to see someone write that they're afraid of the same things you are after feeling like an outsider for so long, nobody really understanding what you go through. I love this...

I feel the same way! It's such a blessing! I don't feel like so alone in this anymore!

If your therapist is a good therapist she will do it at your own pace. If she is not, you report her. You sound a bit like me; a bit of an overachiever? I feel incredible pressure to be as perfect...

I've been hardcore emetophobic for 10 years - it's so hard to change your mind about it after so long but it is possible!

Put the vomitting syrup out of your mind if you don't want to think about...

Hmmm. For me I get really cold sometimes from my IBS because (I think) the blood surges to the part of the stomach that is processing food at the moment. I used to get this A LOT worse when my iron...

The syrup thing is real - it's what they use in the emergency room if someone has eaten something poisonous or drank too much.

Try not to feel too anxious about your CBT - You are in control! You...

Cannot sleep. Having such bad anxiety, going in waves into panic. Feel like I am doomed. Would rather be dead in this moment. I'm trembling and my throat feels tight. Like I'm choking. I am trying to...
